| Who needs a Diamond Cantilever...? 💍 That expletive is really hard to pronounce. What language is it? I don't blame you for your consternation at being asked to pay $600 to diagnose a problem in your preamplifier, but could that be because SS are not necessarily expert with electro... | |

| My battle with sibilance. And if your system slices your throat. don't go running to Mijostyn.Seriously, Mijo, good point. I never knew about the Gundry dip. | |
| Turntable isolation platform Recommendations? Just for the record, I was never an electron microscopist myself, but as a lab chief, I did have such a person and her microscope under my supervision for about 10-15 years out of my 40+ years as a virologist, and before and after that, there was ... | |
| Turntable rumble: what causes it? "The turntable sits on an antique wrought iron table with glass top. It sits about 5 feet from the speakers. "I saw this post from you after having submitted my last post. At least by description, your set-up sounds like a set-up for woofer pump... | |
| Turntable rumble: what causes it? There are long threads on "woofer pumping", and there are several possible causes. You might do a search here and on Vinyl Asylum (go to Audio Asylum and select Vinyl Asylum from the list). VA has a good search engine. | |

| Classic Ortofon Cartridges: The MC2000 MK II or the MC3000 MK II? The Ortofon M20FL Super is a superb contender in the MM category. And really "cheap" by any standard. Was once discussed on the old MM thread. | |
| Technics SP10 MK3 Restoration solypsa, There are many aftermarket plinth makers who can remove an SP10 Mk2 or Mk3 motor assembly from its square-ish surrounding escutheon and mount only the motor assembly in a plinth specially designed for that purpose. I think OMA can do tha... | |
| Anyone with Manley Chinook use a custom Power Cord? JB, On the subject of changing capacitors, the basis for choosing the value of the output coupling capacitors is to provide for the best possible extreme low frequency response, first of all. (f = 1/2*pi*R*C, where R is the net impedance seen by ... | |
| Classic Ortofon Cartridges: The MC2000 MK II or the MC3000 MK II? For the record, I meant to write "fine cartridge", not "find cartridge" in my summary of the 7500.My impression of the two cartridges, 2000 vs 7500 is just the opposite of yours, in two different tonearms on two different systems. I found the 2000... | |
| Classic Ortofon Cartridges: The MC2000 MK II or the MC3000 MK II? edgewear, I never found the MC7500 to sound "edgy" or harsh at all. In fact, I would characterize it as remarkably neutral, almost to a fault, which is to say that if anything it fell a bit short on bringing out the drama and contrasts put into t... | |
| Classic Ortofon Cartridges: The MC2000 MK II or the MC3000 MK II? ihco, I don't know how Raul would answer your question about the 4-digit Ortofon cartridges, but from the MC2000 up to the MC7500, those were their flagship, "best", most expensive cartridges. After the MC7500, they continued development but aban... | |
| Upper Level Vintage DD Strenghts and Weaknesses I would guess they’re made mostly of brushed aluminum and stainless steel, here and there. The obvious improvements available in the 507 are magnetic vs string anti-skate and a superior mechanism for VTA adjustment. There could be more improvement... | |
| Classic Ortofon Cartridges: The MC2000 MK II or the MC3000 MK II? Edgeware, your comments on the MC7500 vs MC2000 intrigue me. Maybe I need to try harder with my MC7500, but so far in my systems the MC2000 is best. Besides paying attention to azimuth, what else? What tonearms have you used? Thx. |
